Chemistry, Structure, and Bonding of Zintl Phases and Ions: Selected Topics and Recent Advances (Chemistry of Metal Clusters)

This book presents recent advances in selected topics on the chemistry, structure, and bonding of Zintl phases and Zintl ions. A number of different research areas are presented, including the use of Zintl phases as precursors to novel solid state compounds, electrochemical synthesis of novel Zintl phases, Zintl phases at the metal-insulator border, reactivity of Zintl phases, structure and bonding of novel Zintl compounds.
Representing the current research of a number of the world's greatest experts in Zintl science, this book presents a balance between the solution chemistry and solid state chemistry related to Zintl phases and ions.
